PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGNAL COLLECTION UNIT AND DETECTOR THEREOF
First Claim
1. A physiological signal collection unit for use with a physiological signal measuring apparatus to measure physiological signals from an anatomical part of a test subject, the anatomical part being covered with hair, said physiological signal collection unit comprising:
- a detector includinga circuit substrate having one side to be disposed proximate to the anatomical part and an opposite side opposite to said one side, and defining a substrate-through-hole that is configured to permit hair strands on the anatomical part to extend therethrough,an electrical connector disposed on said circuit substrate and configured to permit electrical connection between said detector and the physiological signal measuring apparatus, andat least one signal collecting component disposed on said circuit substrate and responsive to control from the physiological signal measuring apparatus for measuring the physiological signals from the anatomical part of the test subject; and
a wearable member configured to be worn on the anatomical part of the test subject, disposed at said opposite side of said circuit substrate, and formed with a through-hole having a size smaller than size of said circuit substrate, said through-hole permitting the hair strands extending through said circuit substrate to extend through said wearable member.

Abstract
A physiological signal collection unit is for use with a physiological signal measuring apparatus to measure physiological signals from an anatomical part of a test subject, in which the anatomical part is covered with hair. The physiological signal collection unit includes a detector and a wearable member. The detector includes a circuit substrate defining a substrate-through-hole to permit hair strands to extend through, an electrical connector, and at least one signal collecting component. The wearable member is to be worn on the anatomical part of the test subject, and is formed with a through-hole having a size smaller than size of the circuit substrate. The through-hole permits the hair strands extending through the circuit substrate to extend through the wearable member.
